About Tamberly

Tamberly Mott is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anger and a wide range of related concerns. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting and family conflict, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges tied to identity such as LGBT questions. Tamberly brings 16 years of clinical experience and offers a calm, practical presence for people feeling overwhelmed.

She favors straightforward, solution-focused work that helps people notice what’s getting in the way of daily functioning and try small, useful changes. Techniques drawn from client-centered and mindfulness approaches are used to slow down strong emotions and improve moment-to-moment coping. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas help people clarify values and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.

Tamberly emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented plans when they fit, while also making room for deeper exploration when needed. She combines listening with concrete steps clients can practice between sessions. Nature-based ideas are sometimes used when talking alone feels limiting.

She holds an LMFT credential and practices in California. Sessions focus on practical tools for sleep, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, chronic illness coping, and career stress as well as processing trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to make emotional work feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

People who prefer a collaborative therapist who offers warm directness may find her style approachable. To begin, clients typically complete an intake and identify a few immediate goals, then pace work according to what feels doable.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Tamberly draws from client-centered therapy to make sessions feel person-focused and respectful. That approach centers on listening closely, reflecting what matters most to the client, and shaping goals together, which can help with anger, relationship friction, and self-esteem struggles.

Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Those exercises are practical for managing intense feelings, sleep trouble, and ongoing stress and can be practiced between sessions to build steadier responses.

Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and to set small, doable steps. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about behavior changes like improving sleep, reducing conflict, or addressing substance use as part of broader coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. This means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking; the profile does not list specific online options. In general, online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can focus more on goals and practice between meetings.
